I'm horrified and yet amused by this. Oh Kirby, what have they done to you?

Why did they put the text over her eyes like they're hiding Human Rainbow Dash's identity

Why is it that my friend Sarah who recently dyed her hair pink keeps getting asked if she's trying to look like Human Pinkie Pie

I mean I made a brony (well I guess it should be pegasister) joke when I saw her but I didn't actually mean it.

Honestly I'm still just blown away by the shear volume of pony blogs and sites and fanfic sites and art dump sites and everything else. Just a bewildering amount of stuff. I'm on page... uh... 28 of the confessions, and some of them are awesome.

"But after dealing with moderation duties on a rather large pony blog, dealing with other pony artists, having my art stolen by bronies, and hearing horror stories with transphobia, sexism, and homophobia that rivaled and even surpassed my own experiences, I began to resent the bronies."

This is exactly what happens every time a fandom reaches a certain size, so that by the sample size and basic probability the fandom includes a significant amount of terrible people. We all know that the worst among any group are often the most vocal, and the larger the sample size, the greater the proportion of the total group made up of these people seems to be. The effect on this person, becoming argumentative and obnoxious in response to the terrible behavior of others, is extremely common in once-sedate fandoms becoming broader and more active. Nothing about this seems unusual at all.

Fell over when random photo feed links on FB popped up some pics of certain folks we know, at Wonderfest JP, and there be crowds of DUDES!! in anime dollie costumes, with the cutesy masks, perky skirts, high socks, bright wigs, the whole works??

"Dollers" competing for convention attention against "Bronies"? Or is it harmonious vibes all around? YOU decide! I gotta go outside, holler into the night, while windmilling my arms around in frustration, while simultaneously trying to not split in half with uncontrolled laughter.
